Newsmag is a modern WordPress theme that lets you write articles and blog posts with ease. We offer great support and friendly help!

The Newsmag template is excellent for a news, newspaper, magazine, publishing or review site. It also supports videos from YouTube and features a rating system. It uses the best clean SEO practices, and on top of that, it’s fast, simple, and easy to use. In addition, News mag supports responsive Google Ads and AdSense.

Responsive Google AdSense support via our custom admin panel – the scripts loads a different google adsense spot for each screen size. Once it’s loaded it doesn’t modify it in order to be 100% compliant with Google adSense TOS.

Responsive ads support – for ad networks that allow multiple ad spots on the same div or if you want to show your own ads on different devices. This option will change the ad spot on the fly, for example when a tablet is changed from landscape to portrait. (the header banner from the demo site is using this system)

Inline Google AdSense or other ads after a predefined number of paragraphs

Auto youtube, dailymotion and vimeo thumb downloader – just paste a youtube url and the site will download the largest image available from the clip automatically and it will set it as a featured image. Very easy to add videos to articles.

Built in review system (stars, percents, points)

SEO: Schema with rich snippet microdata for articles and reviews

Built in translation support from our admin panel. No more .po .mo files, you just get a form with all the strings from the theme and the corresponding translations. We hate po mo files

new: login, register and forgot password ajax windows, a complete and more modern redesign.

new: added support for full height rows, column position and content position on them in Visual Composer.

new: added support for parallax speed on rows

new: added support for equal height inner rows and content placement

new: setting to hide the author name on modules and on single posts independently. Previously there was only one global setting.

new: Added support for custom fonts in theme panel that are uploaded via the wordpress media gallery. The custom fonts can be used just like before on most of the theme’s UI without writing any code

new: the weather widget now opens an input if it’s unable to locate the user via the browser’s location API.

misc: we fully rewrote the trending now block, it’s now leaner and it works better

misc: block parameters now have a better description

misc: code improvements to the following shortcodes: td_block_big_grid_slide, td_block_homepage_full_1, td_block_ad_box and the video playlists

misc: the media gallery that is used in the theme panel is now less cluttered and without the unused options

misc: we cleaned the theme panel and the code is more organized now

misc: all the blocks now show a notice to admins on the frontend when there are missing settings that are required.

misc: the main theme loader is smoother now and has small design improvements

misc: we changed the way templates detect the Visual Composer plugin. The detection method is based on VC_ROW and it only triggers when VC_ROW is found in the content. This allows one to use shortcodes in the default templates that have sidebar + title.

misc: added font settings for post lists

misc: drop caps font settings issue fix

misc: all the advertising blocks now support an ad title

misc: various google webmaster structured data issues have been fixed

misc: better support for IE8

fix: category dropdown list with long category titles now works as expected

new: You can now show in all the blocks and widgets site wide popular articles in the last days provided by the Jetpack plugin

new: Travel demo

new: Custom code panel. We realized that all the custom css, html and javascript should be in one panel. We also added a custom HTML code section. All the input areas from this panel have autocomplete (ctrl+space) and error checking.

new: the theme now has it’s own logging system. We can now debug hosting issues easier.

new: a new self diagnosting and self configurating module that allows our theme to pull data from other sites more reliably.

fix: paragraphs in comments on posts and in wooCommerce now have appropriate spacing

fix: on post pages if the author box was hidden, the theme was sometimes producing invalid author links

fix: possible function name collision of our gallery filter. Thanks to @denimology form our forum for this suggestion.

fix: tabs widget from VC, the shortcode was changed in the latest VC version and it lose the theme style

fix: non adsense ads can be disabled responsive using the panel options

fix: g+ new icon

fix: theme animations where incompatible with some plugins and the visual composer gallery. The animations still worked but all of them looked a bit strange.

misc: the backend editor style that is used in TinyMCE no longer compiles on demand. We ship a ready compiled css and this makes the editor load faster

misc: added link to user page on login widget from top menu

misc: social counter button is clickable on the entire area

misc: almost all the javascript code now passes jshint. We still have about 15-20% of the code to refactor to the new standards but with time we will get there.

misc: the theme’s data source class can now be overwritten from the child theme

misc: all the widgets from the theme are now optimized to work better. The widget_builder class is now deprecated and all the functionality was moved to td_block_widget

misc: the video playlist now downloads the videos metadata on render, not on save post. This allows us to use the playlist on the on click demos.

misc: the following modules of the theme are loaded on demand now: td_log, td_remote_http, td_remote_video, td_data_source, td_video_support, td_more_article_box, td_page_views, td_review, td_ajax. This means that the theme loads them only when needed. We mesured a 10% faster load time after this tweak.

About The Author

Profile We are tagDiv, and for more than five years, we’ve built unique news and magazine WordPress themes. If you think building a professional news website should be easy, you are in the right place! Our goal is to create amazing-looking themes that are naturally easy to use and customize, without any compromise on performance. Our Themes are featured and loved on: Meet our dedicated Team: We personally respond to all support requests and we treat every issue with the utmost seriousness. You can count on us, as we are here to make everything easier for you! Read our Story: We started this project a few years ago after a long discussion between me (Radu Oprea) and my associate, Marius Padureanu. Initially we talked about developing an Arduino-based controller in order to take 360 photos automatically. It was the beginning of a beautiful journey. I used to run an uptime monitoring service and Marius was working away in design and 3D modelling. We soon realized that with our combined skills (design and programming), we could make some really good themes. We joined forces and founded tagDiv. Much of the challenge stemmed from the fact that we opted to build almost everything from scratch. It took a great deal of time until our framework was ready, but the independence of the approach gave us an enormous amount of freedom and flexibility with the shape of our projects. This daring decision, whilst challenging, has ultimately become a cornerstone of tagDiv’s work. We have released some beautiful and unique themes, and the journey has been a lot of fun. Our work is focused exclusively on news, magazine and publishing themes. All our efforts are directed towards development and innovation and our customers love us for it. Our community has grown over this period and now it numbers over 25,000 happy members.
